Last week, the US military missed an actual drug boat in the Pacific carrying 13.2 tons of narcotics, which Panama seized—one of the largest hauls to date. Instead of blowing it out of the water, 10 suspects were arrested, and valuable intelligence was gathered. What a concept.

They’re telling you…
That prices are down, while all your bills are going up.
That tariffs don’t raise prices, but now they’re lowering tariffs for some items in order to…wait for it…reduce prices.
That they don’t have money for SNAP or healthcare, while they send $40B to Argentina.

ICEstapo detained 81 people in Charlotte, NC yesterday.
The internet is littered with videos of them using excessive force and ignoring legal documentation provided by the detainees.
Here’s my advice for ICEstapo:
Take a night off.
Go to the movies.
Watch “Nuremberg”.
Your time is coming.
